Got some very much needed rain last evening. Not enough, but a decent start. Quarter to half inch I’d say. Happy Fourth to all!

Good morning folks. Happy 4th of July, and happy birthday America. Having traveled to 80-some countries, I have no hesitation in saying it is the best place to be, and probably the best place that has ever been, whatever our temporary problems.
We had a terrific cookout last night. My son flew in from Texas and my daughter came over, along with the in-laws. My son then hooked up with a buddy to drive to the Delaware coast where they knew a couple young women who had invited them to share a beach house owned by one of the girls' parents. Damn, the life of a young, handsome, straight single guy these days...But then, young and single wasn't so bad in the 70s either.
No big plans today. No way I'm fighting the masses to go down on the DC Mall for the fireworks. Been there and done that, most comfortably during the dozen years I had a White House pass and could watch from a birds-eye seat on the back lawn, with free Dove Bars and lemonade. There may be some local fireworks near by, or maybe I'll just have a few beers and sit out on the back deck with my wife.
Whatever your plans, I hope you all have a wonderful 4th.

Ground still like concrete as I mowed. Looks like more rain shortly though. Yeh!
80 some countries. That beats me by a lot, but I wish all these America haters could see other parts of the world, and not just the touristy places.
We got .33" but I was hoping for an inch like you.
I'm in 42-45 range.
@Bert Higginbotha : Stopped at new Buc-ee's around 4 pm. Tried calling my cuz and service kept disconnecting. Went over to liquor store. Talked to gal in there who said cell service is horrible since it opened.
Buc-ee's fudge is best I've every had.
Plan on driving past there at 4:00 am tomorrow morning for gas..

Storm rolling through right now, electricity been out for about 25 minutes now. Monster starting to pant with no fans or air. Was 102° when it rolled in. Last I checked here on phone 88°
Still have a two hour drive home but My Darling is enjoying jabberjawing. Weeeellll..... (In my best Rooster Cogburn voice...)
Good morning from Nashville Airport. Under thunderstorm warning. Departing for Boston at 10s:05. Could change, depending on weather.
Great visit so far. Hope y'all had a Happy 4th.

Good morning folks. Back to work, but the shortest week imaginable -- it's already Friday! That's not to say some people still won't find ways to aggravate me, as has already happened this morning. Ah well. Roughly one more year...
I had a quiet 4th. Or I should say, I stayed in my house reading, hearing everyone else have a noisy 4th, but not feeling the need to drive to the sound of fireworks this year. We have plans for a nice dinner at a favorite steakhouse Saturday, so looking forward to that.
I hope you all have a great weekend ahead.

Good morning all,
I took this day off but also have much to do. Older today though....
Back at it, finalizing some paperwork to try thwarting this "builder"...
Have a blessed day on this day the Lord has made. (Made me too...)

It has not impacted my cell phone service, but the traffic has increased for sure. Safe travels Austin.
Rainy and 74°F on our way to 88°F. My rain gauge is set for an event. So the current even began yesterday morning when we got .33" then last night we got up to 1.02". This morning we got an additional inch and it is currently sitting at 2.02". We can used every drop of it.
You all have a good Friday.

Are boxers now like boxers then? (I do not and have not watched...)
This is Leonard-Hearns 2...
I mean Duran, Benitez, Hearns, Hagler, Leonard...
I never saw anyone. Anyone and I mean anyone who had another gear in boxing like Sugar Ray Leonard. I was a Tommy Hearns fan coming out of Detroit too. (Not sure about this outcome though...)

Some pics from yesterday on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay...
The second year we spent July forth at our friends home. We met them while we were in Korea from 2012 to 2015. (They come to our house for winter events)
This is on his dock. (His feet) Only a couple crab below when he checked later in the day but his earlier catch was dropped into the pot kicking, slashing, and fighting....
Some kind of seasoning he shook all over them but...
His wife and he are avid gardeners. They grow tons of stuff... (They have a large yard..)
I think we had six couples attend. We had a fine time..
Enjoy your days today...

Good afternoon D-Legionnaires!
A lot of rain between last night and this morning. Pictured below is the stream from the side of my house to the front of the shop, front of the shop, and around the side of the shop. Needless to say, the shop is flooded.
God's promise. Good thing he promised, otherwise I would need a bigger boat.

Well, I tried something different this time and they still will not show. Try clicking on them to see if they do.
When I hit reply they show up. Whoa... You kin to Noah?
Edit: when I clicked on the X... I got this message:
May have something to do with the settings you or the site enable on that site...
Oh, an update: When I hit reply to your message and could see the pictures I clicked on the pictures and got no message like what I posted above. Just gave me options to save or copy the pictures...

I can see them.
Are the other stations on the other side being affected badly?
That was the first that I heard of the problem. I even tried using my apple phone as a hot spot to watch streaming TV and it works fine. It may be tied to one specific carrier, I don't know. I have an I phone and AT&T.
I am less than a mile from Bucee's.
Are the other businesses being hurt badly by the opening of Bucees’s.
YUM! And I'm not talking about that BB arena in Louisville.Some pics from yesterday on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay...

About as fresh as you can eat. That was about half of them. I stopped counting at 50 crab. Had just tons of other food as well. Had a good time...
MAN I feel old(er).... Hit the six-three today.... My Darling and I spent the day together. The first full day together in a long time. (We are always pointed somewhere else a lot of the time but today, we stayed together all day.) I am thankful....
Good morning from Haverhill, MA. Currently 73°F.
Old Army buddy done really good for himself. He owns a couple houses, including one built in 1740. Proud of him and haooy for him and his wife.
Ate fish and chips last night. Amazing. Jumping on a bus bound for Logan soon.
Y'all have an awesome day.

66° this morning with very light winds. Low 90's expected for a high.
Going to go fishing this morning with the Kayak. light winds expected so it should be a good day. We shall see. Last fishing day Wednesday yielded nothing. A retired Colonel and I Kayaked at the same pond I am going to today and he caught 5 while I was blanked. He used small lures and only caught bass no bigger than a pound while I used the bigger lures to get nothing. May try smaller today if the larger ones don't produce.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend folks and God Bless.
@AustinTXCat Stay safe out there and enjoy.
Good morning everyone.
I hope all is well and prayers for those here that need them (everyone). Happy Belated Birthday @BBUK. I was trying to catch up but have fell behind again. Those crabs looked great. I about foundered the last time I got into some blue crabs.
I finally got some of our trail cams back out and checked the one up on the hill above the house. Bears, bucks, does, fawn and a bobcat but none of the pics were very good. Shelia was able to watch a bear here Wed. morning for a while as I was driving to Lexington. No problems out of them since we were at the lake about 6 weeks ago.
A little rain here yesterday but not enough. Between the lack of rain and the critters our first time in decades garden isn't much. Looks like the Farmers Market and Food City will be our goto this year.
Going to walk about 4 or 5 miles this morning at the walking trail through town. I hope everyone has a great day.

Happy birthday BB.
Another belated Happy Birthday.
I really don't know. Bucees' has dropped the price of gasoline quite a bit and the other stations had to follow suit. It may hurt McDonalds and Wendys but I had no insight into that any more.
Happy belated birthday! I have you by 15 years and 22 days.
Ma and Pa Kettle at it... (Enjoyed them though they were just a little before I was realizing who they were at the time...
And WD-40... (Commercials..)
A definition? Or a way forward...

Good afternoon folks.
Got a late start to my Saturday run, which meant I was jogging into the teeth of the hear and humidity. Taking it easy now until I feel hydrated, watching a bit of the Euro Cup game between England and Switzerland. I will admit that soccer has grown on me a bit through the years, especially when it’s at the Euro or World Cup level.
Getting my second wind. Need to do a bit of yard work. Have a great Saturday.

Got blanked again today. A lot of rain the last two days had something to do with it as the water was up, muddy, and murky. Two other guys were out there and got no strikes as well. Need to up my game.
Good morning folks.
Hot and muggy Sunday in the east.
Taking it easy after an early run and a bit of yard work.
Too hot to do much between now and sundown. Hope you all have a restful day.

Morning Legionnaires!
75° this morning with a high in the low 90's expected for the day. More rain in the forecast for today and tomorrow.
Did my normal walking of the monster early this morning (6 am) but like yesterday and the day before, it was short. She has been tired last few days due to the fireworks that have been going off all weekend from Thursday to last night. The other three mutts cower in the house while the monster is out with us in the back yard charging the direction of the bursting firework. She goes to the fence and bounces on her front feet like a bear all the while growling and barking. She is just wore out the next morning. She is fun to watch though as she knows it is her job to keep us safe.
Enjoy your Sunday folks and God Bless America.
